“ This work is an exploration of identity, inspired by my own mixed cultural heritage/background. I decorated the vessels with a variation of markings that depict an abstraction of African tribal body painting, represented within the confinements of an urban environment, to question cultural stereotypes and comment on the fusion of different worlds colliding in modern society. I play with subtlety and contrast, control and freedom - all contained within similar forms - to echo the way our ancestry can be so rich and diverse whilst also being very much the same.”
